The trees they grow high, and the leaves they do grow green |
| [00:14.00] |
Many is the time my true love I've seen |
| [00:19.09] |
Many an hour I have watched him all alone |
| [00:23.47] |
He's young but he's daily growing |
| [00:35.24] |
Father, dear father, you've done me great wrong |
| [00:40.39] |
You have married me to a boy who is too young |
| [00:45.74] |
I am twice twelve and he is but fourteen |
| [00:50.20] |
He's young but he's daily growing |
| [01:02.10] |
Daughter, dear daughter, I've done you no wrong |
| [01:07.24] |
I have married you to a great lord's son |
| [01:12.36] |
He will make a lord for you when I am dead and gone |
| [01:16.86] |
He's young but he's daily growing |
| [01:28.52] |
Father, dear father, if you see fit |
| [01:33.18] |
We'll send him to college for another year yet |
| [01:38.41] |
I'll tie a blue ribbon all around his head |
| [01:43.48] |
To let the maidens know that he is married |
| [01:57.16] |
One day I was looking over my father's castle wall |
| [02:02.38] |
I spied all the boys playing with a ball |
| [02:07.32] |
My own true love was the flower of them all |
| [02:12.64] |
He's young but he's daily growing |
| [02:22.54] |
At the age of fourteen he was a married man14 |
| [02:28.79] |
At the age of fifteen the father of a son15 |
| [02:33.47] |
At the age of sixteen his grave it was green16 |
| [02:40.95] |
And death had put an end to his growing |
